Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

Restoring mobility to people living with paralysis is one of the great challenges of modern medicine, and until recently, it remained more of a hope than reality. But in a pioneering clinical study, scientists may have finally crossed the frontier. They've developed a cutting-edge new technology that -- for the first time -- has allowed a human with paralysis to move his hand again, a breakthrough described in a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. The technology is the product of a decade's work involving close collaboration among experts in neurology, physiology and engineering.

Artificial intelligence and wearables thrive across healthcare sectors, says Frost & Sullivan MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. While pharma companies have been seeking tools for tracking the effectiveness of therapeutics, imaging companies have been augmenting the interpretability of scans through cognitive pattern interpretation. For complimentary access to more information on this research, please visit: http://frost.ly/2b. Approximately 24 percent of consumers currently use mobile apps to track health and wellness, 16 percent use wearable sensors and 29 percent use electronic personal health records. Significantly, 47 percent of consumers reported they would consider using wearables in the near future, prompting technology developers to design wearables with advanced sensing, capture and analytical functionalities.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 11, 2016) - Grishin Robotics announces new 100 million fund, four times the size of its initial 25 million fund, announced in mid-2012. Originally one of the first exclusively robotics funds in the world, the firm now expands its investment focus to companies involved in the "Hardware Revolution" and becomes one of the ecosystem's largest players. While Dmitry self-financed Grishin Robotics' investments until now, a number of institutional and individual investors from Europe and the U.S. became partners in this new fund. Until recently, people mainly thought about robots as multi-functional products in humanoid form-factor. Today single-purpose devices, combining sensors with software and data analytics components, have the potential to radically automate the physical world around us -- eliminating "dirty, dull & dangerous" tasks from our lives and, thus, realizing the ultimate purpose of robotics.

Humankind shuddered once again as machines seemed to score yet another triumph in what had been an exclusively human arena. In case you missed it, last month an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated novel almost won a Japanese literary competition, inspiring awe, intrigue, and eventually skepticism. The new novel's plot "is essentially told from the subjective of an AI that becomes aware of its budding talents as a writer, and abandons its primary task of serving humanity," according to the "Motherboard" channel at Vice.com, and the Los Angeles Times, citing a report in The Japan News, even provided a translation of the novel's final thrilling sentence. "I writhed with joy, which I experienced for the first time, and kept writing with excitement. The day a computer wrote a novel. The computer, placing priority on the pursuit of its own joy, stopped working for humans."

Israeli online contract review platform LawGeex announced today 2.5 million in funding from Lool Ventures and LionBird and angel investors Eilon Tirosh and Rami Lipman. The startup has also launched its online contract review solution free of charge for consumers. LawGeex allows consumers to upload any type of contract to its platform and receive, within 24 hours, an in-depth report of what's good, bad and even missing from their contract. Currently reviewing over 20 types of contracts, the free solution begins with employment agreements, with more contract types to be offered for free in the near future. LawGeex cofounder and CEO Noory Bechor said, "The driving force behind LawGeex is the belief that no one should sign a contract that they don't fully understand. An astounding 33% of Americans need a lawyer every year but do not hire one, either because they can't afford to or did not know where to turn. This ultimately leads to one-sided negotiations and unfair results. LawGeex has already earned the trust of thousands of users while ensuring quality and transparency, leveling the playing field when it comes to contract negotiations. Our machine learning platform has already reviewed over tens of thousands of contracts, many of which are employment contracts from some of the world's largest tech companies such as Apple, Google, and Facebook. We make sure all employees get a fair deal."

Even though more than 20 years have passed since Doom's release, the methods for developing AI bots have not improved significantly in newer FPS productions. The participants of the Visual Doom AI competition are supposed to submit a controller (C, Python, or Java) that plays Doom. Although the participants are allowed to use any technique to develop a controller, the design and efficiency of the Visual Doom AI environment allows and encourages participants to use machine learning methods such as reinforcement deep learning. Each game will be repeated 12 times for track 1 and 4 times for track 2, which involves three maps.
